    Hi Tropical, it's the menopause causing that I use to get it, I had CT scan few years ago nothing show up on there it's just hormones make you think something is wrong when nothing is wrong with us...I think meno plays tricks on the body 

    but if your not so convince you could have a CT can to put your mind at rest ok.

    This may offend some, please understand I don't mean to, it's just that this is the only word that suits ... sometimes, I feel downright retarded! Yes, I cannot concentrate and focus in on things at times. In fact, I find it so difficult to formulate a single thought, or frame a sentence, or even follow a train of thought. I get myself flustered, and then I get confused easily, and then I get down on myself, telling myself I'm stupid, asking "what's wrong with me!?" I worry that maybe I'm some fraud walking around acting like she knows things, when really, if you asked me anything, I'd have a hard time putting things into words. I feel as if I can't even speak sometimes. This is the weirdest thing ever to me. If this is part of the "natural" aging process then I'm screwed. I'm starting this 4-straight month birth control pill today, to see if this helps. I wanted a cream, progesterone, which is what I hear So much about these days, bioidentical hormones, and that is what I'm interested in finding out about, but I have to wait to get in to see the specialist. I started with a Gynecologist, and was so disheartened on every level. Didn't vibe with him at all. He understood nothing about what I was asking with regard to hormone replacement therapies, he discounted my symptoms, basically joked and said you must just be crazy. Which, hey, I'm sorry---it's not funny because as a woman, you DO feel as if you're losing it sometimes. I'm going to try this birth control pill and I'm continuing my vitamins/supplements, trying to eat well, exercise, and do everything with some balance, but it just sucks not feeling good. Second-guessing everything I think and do and say. Hormone issues are difficult to read. This is all so difficult. Feeling down today about it all.

      I think I have said before, I do not feel like myself anymore, I feel

      Like a complete idiot when I try to converse with someone.

      I am experiencing the same feelings as you and often feel I am

      losing respect for myself with my strange behaviour!

      This could be the reason we feel a bit better writing about it.

      I don't think I am the weird person I am when I am I am writing

      to you all, more like my old(articulate) self?

      I hope this all ends soon.I am not a happy bunny😩

      A a person with a disability, Intellectually challenged would be a kinder way to descibe, rather then the R word.  It is a big put down. 

      With that, I hope you feel better.

      I will definitely do that. I was just reading about side effects, but I'm just going to go forward with this, I guess, and keep record of what I experience. Only I know my body, really. I'm losing faith in the doctors we have around here in my small town. Doctors really discount women's issues it seems. Like we're all just hormonal loons, which maybe we are, but HELP US! UNDERSTAND US! EMPATHISIZE WITH US! 

      So, anyway, sure ... will keep you posted.

      Can't believe menopause do this to your mind and body...Nobody seems to know why it makes you feel this way, doctors don't have a clue!!!

      If you think about it, we were not really meant to live as long as we do. It was not that long ago (before antibiotics) that we had a life expectancy to 40. I guess hormonal changes are better then the alternative? At least it is only for about 10 years that we feel like dog doo.

      Yes I'm just praying that it gets better in time, I would feel better if it wasn't for the head pressure and dizziness

      help. Sorry all

      Sorry Wanda but I can't take anything as I have high bp, so have

      managed this all on my own throughout. I can't say it has been

      easy it has not but I am getting on with it. You will too, be strong.

      There are many ladies on here who can recommend what to take.

      Good luck with it all. I wish you well?

      Jokey,

      Oh man, 12 years, it sucks. I was trying in my own heart to make myself feel better I guess. Sarcasm on line is not as effective.  I hate it too,  right now I am not pease with just about everything.   Sorry I was flippent.  It was not personal.

      Hugz

      No Dee I never took it like that, you know I usually try to laugh

      about it all, but had a bad weekend so am feeling a bit delicate!

      I always love to read your comments, you are very helpful.

      I am sure I will be back on form next week (watch this space)!

      Lovely to chat to you Dee, hugz to you too😊
